A Christian Community Center

Yesterday morning we went to see this rental property in town. It is a house of approximately 600 sq ft on about a quarter of an acre. When I say "we" I mean the whole team. The director and his wife, the two full-time workers here, the clown and John and I. It is located about four blocks from the center of town. We would have liked to find something a little closer because they consider this location too far for the kids to walk at night since there are no street lights in the area, but there isn't anything suitable any closer. We got a good deal and there is an option to buy. We can put the six computers that were donated last year in one of the rooms., and we can also put sewing machines to teach the women to sew. We can also teach English. Christ for the City will install an alarm and air conditioning for the computers. The advantage to this location is that a Christian family who attends the little church in town lives across the street, so they can watch over the property.

The two full-time workers here are the young ladies that helped with the event, one is a psychologist and the other sociologist. They will conduct workshops for the women in town. When we were doing the craft on Friday, I noticed that some of the women have very bad eyesight. It would be nice if we could bring some donated glasses and an optometrist some day. Does anybody know how we could facilitate this? This would be one of the services provided by the community center. There is plenty of room on the property for other things, such an area for the kids to play, etc.

Tonight we are having dinner with another family. We continue our method of friendship evangelism. That's all for now. Hasta luego from the beach...
